CITIZEN TRANSPORT ATTACKED OVER CORUSCANT BY ROGUE CORSEC AGENT!!!!

 

Passengers say they feared for their lives.

 

Coruscant - An unarmed civilian transport, en route to Corellia from Coruscant, was attacked late yesterday by a then unidentifed ship that was later traced back to CorSec itself. Has CorSec turned against the populance? Did they order this attack, and if so, why? HoloWorld News had obtained a transcript of the official incident report filed by the Coruscant Air Control, which paints a terrifying few minutes in the sky over Coruscant for those innocent men, women and children that were on board.

 

"An unarmed civilian transport, identified as Shuttle B7-X852 bound for Corellia... Was flying through the sector...The shuttle then took an evasive maneuver in response to a broad-spectrum call...regarding Air Support, to which protocol dictated that ships should clear the air for the support. Once the shuttle cleared the immediate air space... and the shuttle cleared the sector divide, it attempted to return to its initial course through the city to clear itself into space. It was during this adjustment to return to its course that the shuttle came under-fire from a then unidentified YT-1300 class light Freighter. The shuttle then immediately sent a distress signal to the CAC Tower in that sector, indicating it was under distress and attack from the ship."

 

At the time, CAC officials state that the origin or identification of the freighter were unknown, as were the intentions of its crew.

 

"Adding to the suspicious nature and uncivilized actions taken by the ship, was the state of the ship, as the it appeared to have an illegal number of IFF transponders as well as a jammer, resulting in only static when we attempted to identify it." One official, who wished to remain anonymous, told our reporter. He went on to say that the passengers and crew of the shuttle "seemed scared out of their minds" by the attack. The freighter was later identified, through facial recognition of its pilot via security cameras, as one Jazce "Scubby" Leife, a Lieutenant in CorSec. A short time later, following some quick thinking by the local CAC controller, the shuttle managed to make a direct run to clear the atmosphere and the planet, a task that was completed thanks in large part to the efforts of the CAC controller and the pilot of the shuttle. The shuttle, suffering only minimal structural damage following the shuttle's shields collapsing under the fire, safely made a jump to hyperspace only minutes after it was first fired upon.

Another CAC official told us that they had sent a copy of all the pertinent data and evidence against this CorSec agent to the CorSec HQ on Coruscant, deciding that it should fall to CorSec to determine the best course of action with regards to its agent.

But the same official told our reporter that "It is the advice of the CAC that Lt. Leife be put on suspension until further notice, and possibly be stripped of his authority pending an internal investigation by CorSec as to the nature of this attack on the civilian population that he is sworn to protect." When asked about the rumors of the shuttle being involved in the attack on the Galactic Gunshop in the same area, the official refuted those rumors. "Listen, whatever you've heard about that shuttle being involved with the explosion of the Galactic Gunshop is utterly false. The shuttle was in the same area yes, but there is absolutely no evidence of the two incidents being related at all! We traced the shuttle all the way back to its departure from the nearby shuttleport, and at no time prior to it being fired upon did anything suspicious happen."

Local outcry has arisen over the incident, causing many to doubt the ability of CorSec to control its own agents.

"If they cant even keep a whackadoo like that under control down the street from their own Headquarters, how the hell are we supposed to trust them on the rest of the planet? Or even in the rest of the galaxy!" One man said, wishing to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation by CorSec for his views. But this man is not alone in his doubts of CorSec, as this is the most recent in a string of occurrences that have called the tactics and merits of CorSec into question. The questions still remain however; Did CorSec authorize this attack, and if so, for what purpose? Was the incident at the Galactic Gunshop just a clever coverup for this failed attack?

 

Only time will tell.

((As a note, this entire thing; with the destruction of Cloud City and this resulting holonet feed, I am going for a very, very, somber feel to it. I have described it to some as being September 11th meets the Titanic. But given its... influences, I want to apologize if I offend anyone with the references, especially those to 9/11. Given that I live in Connecticut, I was very close to that event, but did not know anyone personally who died, which someone here might have. So again, apologies ahead of time...))

 

Cloud City: Gone Forever!

 

City in the sky ripped apart by explosion, cause unknown.

 

The words splashed on the screen as all holonet programming was interrupted, followed immediately by the only known footage capturing the explosion and subsequent catastrophic failure of the Cloud City's structure. The footage had limited audio given that the camera had been so far away, and so the explosion was heard only faintly, but clearly seen. The flames and smoke seemed to be everywhere, as section by section the lights on the grand floating city flickered out, the result of the power grid failure. As the destruction of Cloud City continued to unfold on billions of screens around the galaxy, the voice of one of the most well known Holonet reporters, Jeter Pennings was heard over the images.

 

"Ladies and Gentlemen... The images you are seeing are unfortunately real.

 

Cloud City as we know it... is gone.

 

What appeared to be an explosion of massive proportions has caused the structural integrity, as well as the faculties of the floating city, to fail, causing the city to list terribly to one side, with it eventually falling from the sky as, it appears, the repulsor engines give way.

 

It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that we currently do not know how many people have died in this explosion, only that the City has fallen from the skies of Bespin in no less than three pieces.

 

Again, for those of you just joining us, Cloud City has been destroyed in the wake of a massive explosion, which our experts are telling us appeared to emanate from the lower levels of the City, where its well known tibanna gas mining operations were centered.

 

We do not know what caused the explosion, or how many people were currently within the City, but again, it has resulted in the failure of the Cloud City superstructure and power grids.

 

As a result, the City has fallen from the skies in no less than three separate pieces, which you can see here, as one section falls from the lower portion of the City, and then eventually as the upper half, which we understand had pancaked down, slides off as you can see here, as the entire city lists to that one side..."

 

The holonet transmission would continue in this manner for almost 24 continuous hours following the breaking news, with new pieces of information trickling in overtime. Every so often, the video would break to various locations throughout the galaxy, to show reactions and get statements from different well known individuals who were in some way connected to Cloud City's past. Throughout the entire broadcast, Pennings remained, being the one constant voice for its watchers to cling to as the mood grew ever darker and darker as the reports went on.

The following is paid for by Kyoo.

 

Have you ever needed someone to do something? Perhaps you thought, "Oh, if someone could just do this for me." Or maybe, "Gosh, if I could just have someone to do that for me."

 

Well, guess what? NOW YOU CAN.

 

Introducing the Ads-Gop Flif...let's call it version 5.0.

 

He's willing to do just about whatever, FOR WHOMEVER. You hire him, and he'll probably try to do it. Give him a call. He has both a telephone and a telephote.

 

All you have to do to woo him is have the possibility of mentioning that you'll pay him, then BLAM! He'll work for you. Unless it seems like it would be really boring or something. Then you should talk to someone else.

 

Mr. Flif can be found in the Last Call, by the way.

Generally, hitting someone in the head with your weapon kills them regardless of whether they're wearing a life-sustaining mask. I'm pretty sure this is general combat strategy whether your target is Darth Vader or some thug on the street.

A sudden blast of fan fare marked the arrival of the message. Following this cultural music from twi'leks, wookiees with a finish from the Ossan played as a lead in before the image settled on the speaker. The speaker was a large handsome looking Twi'lek male, draped in silk robes, looking both regal and professional at the same time.

 

”œNon-humans of the galaxy. Especially those who are considered HUMANoid or NEAR-HUMAN, or SEMI-Human. Listen up for I come today with words you would do well to ponder.

 

Have you ever paused to wonder why we are referred to as ”˜alien' or ”˜nonhuman'? Have you ever wondered why we are defined by humans and compared to them? Is it because they hold the majority? Why is the galaxy so black and white? You are either a human or you are not. How is this fair?

 

We at the Coalition of Sentient Enlightenment wish to change the galaxy for the fair, equal treatment and portrayal of beings of all sentient races. This goal also included equal representation of all races in galactic affairs.

 

This is not a message of hate but a group seeking to help. Help places like Ryloth who have been ravaged by the disparity between the majority and the minority. There full blown slaves are sold by ”˜contract' as a feeble way of evading anti-slavery laws. Where females are turned into consorts and companions for the rich and decadent. Where they the females of a world are nothing but status symbol in the galaxy, becoming prized possessions.

 

Where while the young girls have whole communities and entire markets established to pimping them out, the males are simply dogs in the eyes of the majority of the galaxy. Never prized or reward for any sort of intellectual thought, as they are not even considered capable, though clearly we are. We are there to help young twi'lek girls have a recourse if their ”˜owner' decides to treat her like property instead of respecting her as an individual.

 

We provide help for a world whose resources are perverted in their use. Where ingredients to make medicine is instead used to make drugs. We are a group dedicated to improving the standards and quality of living for the minority groups in the galaxy. Here to help groups that are killed for sport such as the Wookiess and who have had their communities decimated time and time again for senseless violence. Where they are seen as beasts meant to be labeled and contained as seen in that popular broadcast two years ago.

 

We see the Chiss who have had battles fought on their world that they had no part in. We are here to help heal and repair the lives that have been torn apart at the whims of the leading majority.

 

Join us and join our cause. We will have a representative for Coalition of Sentient Enlightenment available at the last call. If you wish to bring about a change in the galaxy, this is where to start!

With that the speaker and the message signed off.

Massive Terrorist attack on Ryloth, is the G.A or the Coalition of Sentient Enlightenment to blame for failing to stop and or by inciting these attacks!?!?!

The IRHN's Doren Ba'al: "It's one of the largest attacks to happen in many years on Ryloth"

 

After the double pronged attack three of the most profitable Ryll dens in the city Kala'uun as well as the Floating Rock Gardens of Ryloth, a third attack collapses four of the busiest tunnels on Kala'uun, halting commence flow and bringing a devastating toll on populace, say officials.

 

Tragedy struck Ryloth today, as an unknown group of terrorists attack serveral key locations on Ryloth today. Among those locations is the Floating Rock Gardens of Ryloth, a tourist attraction said to be the most famous on the planet.

 

Eyewitnesses said the attacks were carried out late into the night, and that no one alive saw the perpetrators. Only explosions that seemed to heard them into oddly enough safe locations, before the areas began to explode.

Guards on duty at the Floating Rock Gardens, were saved from the devastating blast that deformed the tourist attraction by a timed explosive outside of the complex. Survivors of the four tunnel collapse said that explosions created roadblocks that kept them away from the danger of the main attack.

 

No group has so far come forward to take creadit for the attack.

 

It is the largest attack for Ryloth since SEED was driven off world.

 

Rescue workers said no civilians had been caught in the blast. Many of the victims of this attack were soldiers and students of the spice production industry that ryloth is famous for.

 

The G.A-backed transitional government condemned the attack and said no senior government officials were hurt in the blasts. Government members were nowhere near blast site at the time.

 

"The attack shows that the danger from terrorists is not yet over and that there are obviously still people who want to derail the advances that the Galactic population have made towards peace," it said in a statement.

The government statement set the number of dead at 50, but it was not clear whether this was only an initial count.

 

Resident analysis Pol Fenn had this to say.

 

”œWe are not sure why these attacks were done. While our tourist attraction was indeed damaged, the most important implication is a decreased revenue stream for the planet. With our most profitable ryll dens, hit hard, and seemingly robbed, and the tourist attraction destroyed along with the damaged to our busiest tunnels, commence on this world has been greatly impacted. While we wish the G.A could keep such terrorist in line, we will still survive this assault. If anything this will only make us stronger and more resilient. The question however, is this a backlash from the Coalition of Sentient Enlightenment gaining media attention?”

CSE RESPONSE ISSUED VERSUS ALLEGATIONS OF BEING THE CAUSE OF RYLOTH TRAGEDY!

 

Sentient beings in the galaxy. According to IRHN we might be the cause of the recent violence and tragedy on Ryloth. We assure you we are not.

 

We are simply a group seeking to help promoted the fair and equal treatment of races through out the galaxy. Places like Kashyyk that are still reeling from yet another arson attack on their famed forest world.

 

It is time likes this where we should look to Galactic leadership such as our illustrious Jedi leader the first Chief of State Sabian Devanus known for his signature red (duster styled) trench coat. A man mysteriously silent in the wake of tragedy after tragedy in this new Galactic Alliance.

 

As well as Cadio Sikaot a man who is suppose to be our protector but instead is embroiled in scandal as an Intergalactic Lecher.

 

Unlike the Core Worlds of Coruscant, Corellia, Chandrila, Thyferra, Kuat, and Byss we sentient beings can not afford Core Worlds Security otherwise known as Corsec to protect our worlds. For they operate in a manner more fitting a holonet drama than an actual security force attempting to serve and protect beings.

 

So let us take matters into our own hands!

 

Let us start by helping the people of Ryloth who are still suffering after this sudden and vicious attack. Lets us help in ways that the Galactic Alliance could never do. They who turn a blind to the world.

 

Send your donation to the Coalition of Sentient Beings. With your help we can help ease the suffering and help rebuild what was lost and damaged in this sudden attack. We can used what is drilled and mined on this world for its original purpose. We can transform Ryloth to stop turning its medicine into spice, for a quick fix and a few bucks instead of saving lives. We can put pressure on the Galactic Alliance to keep young twi'lek girls from being sold into slavery by a ”˜contract' and becoming status symbol for the rich and decadent. We can potentially stop this vast slave-trading network that has permeated the Galactic Alliance.

 

Reach out and help, lay not the blame on us for the hatred of others. Instead help us transform the galaxy in to a better place for ALL sentient beings!

 

There will be a representative waiting for you in the last call for those who wish to sign up and become a member.

-HOLONET NEWS UPDATE-

ARE CORE WORLDS SECURITY AGENTS BREECHING THEIR JURISDICTION?

 

A buxom blonde, hard-core liberal, and mildly herpes-ridden reporter shows her face with the backdrop of the coresec logo surrounded by the hue of controversy.

 

Her voice is high and sharp, but carries with it the authority of a seasoned reporter.

 

”œToday we here at MSNBC have received reports of agents of the highly controversial Core worlds Security Programme, have yet again overstepped their bounds. This footage was mailed to us from one of his fellow agents on a raid far outside of their jurisdiction, on the planet Tatooine.”

The screen flashed a pinkish hue, and the main character walked onto centre stage. He was dressed in the CoreSec uniform, all regulation save for the rainbow coloured badge he wore on his lapel and the blood soaking his hands. He slowly strutted forward, with a devilish grin.

 

”œHello ladies and gentlemen, I am CoreSec agent Clay Adkins. And I am here to show you the extent of coresec operations around the galaxy, and here on our main base on Coruscant.”

Breaking news this evening, the Sith Temple on Coruscant has been attacked and razed to ruins. There are a few live feeds from the scene, you are seeing them now, but most of the media and general public was cordoned off from the scene beforehand by CORESEC officials, which have led some to speculate that they were behind the attack. Many recent reactions are hailing the attack as unwarranted and unprecedented, as in recent times the Sith Temple on Coruscant has merely been a place to congregate and to learn, much like the Jedi Temple. CORESEC officials have been unavailable for comment at this time.

 

On a related subject, Sith activities on a galactic scale have been widespread as of late, and though there have been attacks recently labeled as terrorist plots, no evidence has surfaced that ties the actual Order as being behind said attacks. Some evidence has surfaced that individual Sith might have been responsible for many of these attacks, but the Sith Order as an organization was quick to deny these criminals as anything more than individuals acting outside the Order's intentions and purpose, and the Order has been known for organizing a failed joint counterinsurgency attempt with Jedi and CORESEC forces against well known criminal Jidai Geki, seen here.

 

Recent footage received hours ago also places former Jedi Master Aryian Darkfire at a massacre outside the Jedi enclave on Gala, rumors have circulated across the holonet that the Master went rogue from the Order, and this attack seems to confirm this. The Galactic Alliance has remained silent on these recent events, leading many to wonder if their government even cares they exist. Recent polls have the disapproval rating of the government at seventy eight percent, the highest it's been in years.

 

More news will on the Temple attack will be broadcast as it becomes available.

 

This is Ron Burgundy, signing off. You stay classy, Coruscant.

***Breaking News Alert***

 

"Good evening folks. This is Norom Retsop with a story that is now coming into our station. We are getting reports that apparently the legendary bar owner of the Last Call, Kheldar vos Corelli has abused many of his costumers over his course of running the place, many of them male. For more, we go to our reporter in the field, Ehs Seil."

 

"Thank you Norom. But at this moment, details are still breaking. We have three unidentified victims and one confirmed from this case breaking out against Kheldar vos Corelli. CorSec has yet to be informed of the situation, as the local police have started the investigation, but they do have plans on turning this case over to CorSec, as they are receiving reports that there could be more victims surfacing. We have talked with those on the streets this early in the morning to get their reaction, but most seem to only take notice that the truth would be revealed if we reversed our names around. The most recent of this report comes from local man, Ohw Wenk. Back to you Norom."

 

"Thank you Ehs for that revealing, yet very confusing report. Until we find out more of this situation, we'll return you to your program of "How I met a Gungan."

A message from the former Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, Armiena Draygo, bounced through innumerable relays over the Holonet until it reached the Dark Lord of the Sith.

 

“Dark Lord Furion, it has been a long time.” The crystal-clear hologram of Armiena Draygo appeared in front of the recipient of the message. Occasionally the image fragmented, as though there was an error in the compression of the correspondence. “I can only hope that you are the first one to receive this message. I only recently began involving myself in the affairs of the galactic core, and already so much of what I have seen has been disturbing. I fear is that the galaxy is headed for a disaster and without a sudden upset this catastrophe is inevitable. We must meet. Any time, any place; all I ask is that you can guarantee my safety. I hope to see you soon.”

 

((This is a private message; no one but Armiena or Furion would be aware of it.))

Shadowy Cabal Purchases Galaxy?

 

Rumors surfacing a shadowy triumverate has purchased the galaxy.

 

Galactic Associated Press

 

Coruscant: Rumors have surfaced in the financial sector that large swathes of the Galaxy, if not the very Galaxy itself. Transcending even the Galactic Alliance, this group is rumored to have found a way to purchase planets, interspace, and everything. Reports are elusive, but some detective work has identified these parties.

 

The first of these is confirmed to be a former Black Sun Vigo named Mindan Bret'c'hell. Word is he was involved in a split in Black Sun some time ago, allying with the Trando known as Piccolo. Since vanishing from the galactic scene, he is reputed to have gained enough wealth and forwarded the cabal to somehow buy up the Galaxy at large in what is rumored to be called the Ooyk Compact.

 

The second member is less well known, reported to be one Mael Ti-anda, from Naboo. A one time dabbler in the Force arts and a smuggler, he too had vanished around the same time as Mindan. Reportedly the most remote of the trio in handling matters, we are hard pressed to find more information.

 

The last of them simply goes by the name "Vaderman" in homage to the infamous Sith Lord who helped enforce Palpatine's Empire. Rumors were this individual was last seen in the Last Call drinking himself into a drunken stupor ages ago before he vanished.

 

At this time, we have found some evidence of the Ooyk Compact deeding the Galaxy to the triumverate as "Administrators of Galactic Affairs" an apparently working through the Galactic Alliance, Black Sun, Jedi, and Sith. We tried inquiring what we still believe to be the galaxy's richest citizen, retired Corellian merchant prince Kheldar vos Correlli, but a representative of the trader declined comment on if Correlli lost that title. Black Sun agents, those who might be able to report on Mindan, also declined to comment, though it there was acknowledgement of his role in the organization.

 

Speculation abounds: How did three nobodies, long absent on the galactic scene suddenly buy out the Galaxy? What does it mean for us? Is this part of some Black Sun plot? Or is this some absurd rumor?

 

We report, you decide.

The Holonet burst to life one day with a brand new signal, blaring with ceremonial music and fanfare. The screen lit up in rivers of gold and crushed together to form and mold itself into the golden link insignia. It was a gilded marvel and one that was surpassed only by the beautiful sapphire hologram that followed. Her voice was lyrical and soothing; her shape was that of a twi'lek that moved not unlike other humanoids moved, but she seemed to float, instead of walk.

 

Her eyes opened wide and her arms stretched to the edges of the screen. She sang in a loud and powerful voice. "Welcome one and all to the grand re-opening ad campaign of the Golden Link Casino. My name is Idarah and I will be guiding you on your journey to fame, luxury, or relaxation. Come and have yourself pampered, satisfy cravings, feed your wild side and let yourself loose at the Golden Link. We here at the Link are not satisfied until the customer leaves with a smile on their face."

 

There was a brief interlude as small vignettes of the Casino were shown. The facilities that were the most appealing: like the gambling sections, the swoop tracks and things of that nature were naturally shown first. Then the food court and the hotel were shown.

 

"We have upgraded our hardware and our software and are prepared to give you a more comprehensive restful experience than you have ever had before. Come and join us at the Link, you won't regret it." Idarah said with a soft wink and her figure floated above the screen and proceeded to move out of the ad. Her presence was immediately followed up though with a lovely woman of red skin and dark blue luxurious hair. She was clothed in a silky black dress with ornate letters sown into the front in golden thread. The letters, "G" and "L" were there to signify the Link's namesake. She wore a gold chain around her neck with a glittering blue hologram shining on her neck. The hologram showed only one word and that was, "Kaldena."

 

"We will be replaying this ad every hour on the hour and broadcasting it to every major city. For the next few weeks we will be having special offers on hotel suites that will never be this good again. The grand re-opening ceremony will take place at the end of the next week and any and all are welcome to come. As long as you leave your hostility at the door and bring a ton of good fortune with you, you are welcome here at the Link." The woman said, with her hands softly placed upon the sides of her hips. Then, after a few seconds, to allow the adoring public to soak it in, the ad faded away to black.

Time will tell what impact this new overlord has on the Galaxy. Hints are that a series of new, epic wars are brewing, ready to boil over in three years time, even with current machinations of the Sith aside. The only solid news we have confirmed is talks of a new era of merchandizing from that large IP grab sure to take the Galaxy's youth by storm.

Breaking News Alert

 

We are now receiving word that Bothawui has reported a withdraw from the Galactic Alliance and has openly declared war upon the Imperials who got off from their war crimes, a pardon which was granted to both parties during the Peace Summit. This all took place on Bothawui during the funeral of Dirrm Gir’tey, the late former Senator who died either during or after talks with the Jedi. We do know that the long time Representative of Bothawui, Akao Den'kji, who has stepped up in the death of Dirrm as acting Senator is the one who made the declaration. Normally, Bothawui would have resisted, as they rarely go to war themselves, showed an unusually strong support of the motion. What is somewhat more confusing is the surprise that the Jedi were present and seemed to do nothing about it. It is very possible that the Jedi Order could be acting on the same side of the Bothans, or influenced them towards making such a decision. We will report more later on as information comes are way.

It would seem that Akao Den'kji has gained the support of one of her fellow senators, as Kashyyyk Senator Saldrrl has now also withdrawn from the Galactic Alliance and threw her full support in with Bothawui. Bothawui has a few ships gathering in Bothan space, and is now expected to be joined by Kashyyyk Owool fighters, as well as a few good thousand Wookiee Warriors lead by General Arrrirr to go in with General Karnek Vel'hen as they will lead the Uprising against the Imperial Remnant within their own space. All the while Akao Den'kji has yet to give up on the possibility of getting Senator Tekbar of Mon Calamari and Senator Neenu Meelaf of Rodia to joining her cause in the fight. She is also pleading with both Jedi and the Sith to give her cause some aid and help them.

 

Meanwhile, we also have word that the Imperial Remnant has rallied its emergency defense fleet to deploy a few garrisons within strategic places to help defend their own space from the coming Uprising. This defense group is lead by some unknown Corporal Major of theirs, and the defense fleet seems to be made up of nothing but rookies that were recently promoted to the battlefield. No one from the High Command are willing to provide a comment on who they chose, or why they chose. They only speak the words of a guaranteed successful defense of their space. Yet despite these claims, a call has been posted all over the Holonet, requesting support from mercenaries, Mandalorians, Bounty Hunters, and anyone else who will answer the Imperial Remnant's call.

 

Now all the rest of the galaxy can do is sit back and see what might unfold from the Galactic Alliance, or from the war itself....

With as much ostentatious pomp and circumstance to make planetary monarchs gasp in awe, the Holonet flashed a series of commercial decrees, enough to catch the attention of nearly everyone in the galaxy.

 

Are you growing tired of the same old vacations?

 

Do Star Tours now hold the same amount of excitement as watching a dewback eat tall grass?

 

Ever wished you could be pampered on Naboo, try your luck at the Golden Link, and stay in the Emperor's Suite on Coruscant. all at once?!

 

What was that? Did you say, "That would be great Mr Announcer man, but how?"

 

I'll tell you how! Take a cruise on the brand new, luxury casino liner, the Shadow's Gambit!!

 

The image faded instantly to a stary backdrop, which was all at once pierced by the movement of a ship emerging from hyperspace; a golden dagger of a ship, which quickly filled the screen as the camera zoomed in on the massive ship as it flew by. As each amenity was discussed, the camera trained on that particular section of the ship to show it in detail, particularly the large transparent domes on each section that allowed guests a view of the stars.

 

Featuring the Trevelyn; a galaxy-class hotel of the finest design and luxury!

 

A massive park and plaza, filled with intricate fountains and exotic flora from countless corners of the galaxy for our passengers to enjoy and marvel at! Come attend one of our many concerts [schedule subject to change and to be determined]!!!

 

An open air bazzar with merchandise from every corner of the galaxy, filled with items you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else!! We also offer many high end shops; the likes of which you would normally only find in the most upscale sections of Coruscant, Corellia, or Naboo!!

 

And the finest gambling establishment ever constructed, the Seventh Moon!! Featuring every gambling form imaginable and known to this galaxy, it puts the Golden Link Casino to shame without even lifting a finger!! And to top it off, the Seventh Moon is family friendly, featuring a number of bars and clubs with features that will appeal to even the youngest of our passengers!

 

Sound too good to be true?! Come and see for yourself the wonders that are to be had aboard the Shadow's Gambit!!

 

The camera once again zoomed out to encompass the entire ship, giving the viewers one last look at the ship before it disappeared once more into hyperspace, leaving the following text blinking on the screen.

 

Now taking reservations for the maiden voyage of the Shadow's Gambit, departing from Coruscant in one month's time!! Call your travel agents to be a part of this momentous occasion!

 

Immediately following the advertisement came another, this one somewhat milder in tone and pomp.

 

Want to be a part of the wonder and majesty of the Shadow's Gambit?! We are now hiring for all positions!! Come see our representatives on Talus, Kamino, or Gromas in the coming weeks to learn how you can start your voyage as a part of our crew and staff!! Accepting all applications, so dont miss out on this once in a lifetime opportunity!

 

Once the second advertisement faded, it was replaced with a series of numbers centered on the screen for barely a second before they too disappeared.

37 43 50 70

Several popular holonet stations blank out without warning. The interrupting transmission, if the investigators at CoreSec were to do their due diligence, would be found to be caused by a small droid the size of a mid-sized rodent, uploading the transmission directly into the holonet transmitter right in CoreSec's backyard on Coruscant. Nothing traceable would be left as the droid self-destructed in an absolute fashion, leaving the signature of a baradium explosion that demolecularized the evidence to its component atoms.

 

No sound is heard as the images are restored, but a long scrolling column of text appears. The scroll passes slowly, the transmission lasting several minutes, and going through more languages than the average protocol droid normally handles. Some languages are active, others archaic, a few only spoken by scores of individuals across the galaxy.

 

Despite that, the transmission reads the same thing in all these languages, boldly proclaiming four words in the galaxy's most common tongue:

 

 

 

Let the Games begin

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

GALAXY IN PERIL

Apocalypse Now?

 

article-0-0F4B70D300000578-73_634x504.jpg

 

Coruscant: Waves of attacks on the Galactic Rim have intensified recently, leaving several worlds in the periphery devastated and in a few cases, reportedly reduced to just lifeless husks or rock and water. What started with isolated attacks on Dantooine, Kashyyyk, and then Kuat, has sped up. While none of the affected worlds are major population centers nor have any large impact on the larger Galaxy, the terror is spreading among Galactic citizens. The culprit of these attacks is believe to be Vladimir Faust, who has been sighted by sources as being at the site of the previous three attacks as well as an attempt on the Alliance Senate.

 

One Galactic Alliance official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, gave the following statement: "The attacks frankly, have baffled us. No radiation, no poisons, no pathogens, no energy we can detect, just death, leaving structures intact. Shields and other conventional defenses are useless. The weapon that the attacker is using kills everything in a radius and moves on to hammer these planets. Sources say it's some twisted use of the Force, but that's beyond us. There's no tactical benefit we can discern to these attacks, no plundering, no resources gained. The worlds are chosen because they are easy targets with populations to rack up a high body count, done hit and run style. It's terror and wanton killing."

 

Deaths are now well in the millions. With the attacks growing in frequency and mobilization of the Alliance's fleet, a quick, but bloody end is predicted to these attacks. The question remains- what is the attacker's endgame? And what will it take to stop him? If it is Faust, known for the Coruscant Shield Collapse which killed billions and billions of people on this very planet, is this a warm up for something far worse?

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

DOWN WITH THE FORCE USERS!!!

 

With the outbreak of recent attacks and threats made on a galactic scale, it is time to say goodbye to the Jedi and the Sith. They no longer provide the peace we need in the galaxy, nor do they keep their warring to themselves. The time has come. We must eradicate this threat while it remains docile and silent.

 

Catastrophes caused by this monster, Faust and many tyrannical or terrifying figures like him in the past: Furion, Lord Ar-pharazon, Raynuck Montar and Exodus - to name a few, indicate that we need a change of tack. We must snuff these figures out before they get too powerful. We need to pursue their darkness until we can look at our children, or our friends, and tell them that everything will be alright. We can’t do this alone and we can’t hope to do this quickly. It will take time fellow citizens, but with hope, strength, and a little money, we can all achieve a peaceful galaxy.

 

Therefore, I place a bounty on any and all Force users!

 

1,000,000 credits – DEAD (a/head)

 

- For reward, contact 33999 -3332 01111

*Bothan Polka Music*

 

--WILL WE BE THE GENERATION THAT STOPS TODDLER DEATHSTICK USAGE?

 

-The holoscreen cuts to a racially diverse group of perfect children sitting around a large locker-style refresher. One Twi'lek child, his blue streaked lekku twitching nervously, produces a small handheld hookah, the brand name PHALLUS-MORTENSON clearly visible on the chrome cylinder. Each child looks shocked at the camera, a particular black-furred Bothan snarling at the camera, but quickly pull their own cylinders from bags. Each one loads the cylinder’s glowing red chambers with brown liquid, and then takes a long drag. The camera pans from childish faces, a drug stupor clouding their eyes, before rolling back to give a full view of the ‘fresher, before cutting annoyingly to a baby-nerf meme

 

--DEATHSTICK PRODUCERS TARGET CHILDREN WITH THEIR ADVERTISING, IT’S TIME TO SAY NO

A child’s voice cuts into the announcer,

 

--DEATHSTICKS KILL BABY NERFS--

 

Fortunately for the audience of the holonet this night, the advertisement was cut off by an emergency broadcast. It was probably best for everyone, these type of ‘The Truth About Deathsticks’ commercials only made those that watched them buy deathsticks out of spite.

 

***BREAKING NEWS, WITH YOUR HOST BRYANT WILLHELMS***

 

The screens cut to a well dressed human in a suit coat, standing on a Coruscanti balcony, his normally smiling face set in a stern expression of sorrow. As the camera pans in, his dour, steel-blue eyes narrow and he lifts a microphone to his lips..

 

“This is Bryant Willhelms, reporter for the NCC Nightly News. Tonight, we bring you the story of the evening from the underlevels of Coruscant. There have been reports of a massive spread of a plague throughout the entire sector of the ScorpJediKnight Memorial Slum, which originally thought to be just rumors spread by the refugee crisis which caused the slum to fill with undesirables… Well it’s always been undesirable, but anyway…

 

The cameraman pans through the spacelanes, focusing on a group of protesters outside the Corellian Massacre Memorial Hospital (Brought to you by Peksi, the drink of the meme generation). The reporter continued

 

“These reports have been confirmed by agents of the Galactic Alliance’s Center for Disease Control. We have seen it ourselves, braving the dangers of the slums ourselves in our shuttle with rounds coming into the airframe, we saw perhaps millions dead… Bodies left to carrion on the catwalks, dying children walking about like zombies… blood pouring out of every orifice… This is truly a disast-”

 

The reporter paused, his eyes bulging, as he let out a wet cough that shook his entire body. Flecks of crimson spread on the holocam view port, causing the cameraman to shout. THe last image before the screen went black, and the subsequent end of the report, was the face of the Galaxy’s favourite newsman, horrified as blood began to leak from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

 

A Sith Plague is on the rise

A face that had dominated the holofeeds over a decade prior appeared in the background behind the announcer. The feed’s audi cut in.

 

“-The signer of the Third Death Star Peace Accords has announced to the Galaxy News Network that she and several ex-Imperial worlds have withdrawn from the Galactic Alliance and have reformed under the name of the ‘Imperial Remnant’”

 

The background changed to the faces of Ex-Emperor Deton cross focused with the infamous criminal Vladimir Faust.

 

“The New Imperial Leader, Raven Zinthos has decreed that the Imperial Remnant will not allow the collection of Jedi bounties. Raven had this to say-”

 

The camera feed cut to a close up of the new Imperial Leader. Dressed sharply in a pearl white uniform, flanked on either side by the Senators from Kuat and Carida. She was in the middle of a conversation with a Rodian reporter. Her voice was low and carried a harsh tone.

 

The reason for this divide can only be clear, Imperial aligned worlds are not receiving adequate protection from the fleet. Not to mention a lack of democratic support for the GA within the populations of these worlds.”

 

She took a breath and looked into the camera. “The GA has not supported the Jedi Order either. Allowing these bounties to be collected on the order that has only sook to serve the order, peace, and democracy in the galaxy. It is for this reason I hereby-”

 

The camera zoomed in as if to catch a horrible phrase that would be repeated across the Holonet.

 

“-Invite the Jedi Order to leave their hiding take up residence on the Imperial World of Carida and assist the new Imperial Government. This is a new era. The old Empire was closely followed by the will of the Sith. Not this time. If any Bounty Hunter dares show his or her face upon Imperial Worlds in the attempt to collect a bounty on a force user, they will be prosecuted with the full extent of the law. Imperial Worlds will be a safe place for the Jedi Order to thrive and grow anew.”

 

The Camera cut back to the Holo Reporter.

 

"Well that is sure the strangest thing I have ever heard, more at eleven!"

A small advert popped up on the Holonet.

 

It was clear that they didn't really have the funds for a full-fledged commercial. But a brief shot of the name was enough air time to get the message across.

 

AHZINGER ARMORS ON NAR SHADAA - GRAND RE-OPENING.

A haggard individual scrabbled onto the screen. He held a big sign and was shaking with wide eyes.

 

A news anchor stood off to the side and watched the man as he yelled. The big scruffy man was positioned on the outskirts of the trinity tower terrorist relief construction, causing a ruckus. His signs were big and brightly colored and sometimes he yelled so loud that he frothed a little saliva out the side of his mouth.

 

The Nikto looked as if he hadn't bathed in months; nay, years.

 

He smelled like the south-end of a northward Bantha and his appearance made him look like he was assaulted by a Tusken hit squad. But he was loud and his ruckus was being debuted live on camera for all of the Holonet to see.

 

"Here we have a little local color shouting his cynical thoughts at the survivors of the Trinity tower massacre. They are trying to recover from this horrific tragedy. This vagrant appeared the other day and has been relentless in his pursuit. Here is a clip of what he was saying yesterday... Chuck, play the clip!"

 

--== A little bit of fuzz interrupted the live feed and then the same Nikto popped up on the screen. His voice was hoarse and raspy, but he was holding a sign and emphatically screaming into the wind. "WE ARE ALL CONTROLLED BY BIG PEOPLE IN THE SKY!!! THEY GIVE US MEANING. THE END IS COMING, BUT NONE OF US CAN DIE?!! WHAT IS THE POINT?

 

EVEN MY ACTIONS HAVE NO MEANING. THEY ARE THE BORED RAMBLINGS OF SOMEONE WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO. WE ARE ALL INCONSEQUENTIAL WHEATIES TO BE EATEN AND DISCARDED... WHAT ARE WHEATIES, I DON'T KNOW. BUT THEY KNOW. WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!!!!" ==--

The news broke on the late night 1000 HRS Coruscanti newscast. The Imperial Remnant was declaring war on the Sith Empire and their associates the criminal syndicate Black Sun. Multiple long text documents were shown including endless witness statements accusing the two states of every type of crime including but limited to; Genocide, Assassination, Conspiracy to commit Terrorism, Terrorism, Rape, Treason against the Galactic Alliance, Murder, conspiracy to commit treason, war crimes, using weapons of mass destruction, building weapons of mass destruction, using armed forces against a civilian populace, use of force powers against the lawful arresting officers of CoreSec, and the violation of the Galactic Peace accords resulting in the annulments of all pardons granted.

 

The Imperial Remnant, and their allies in the Core Worlds Security Force would be henceforth beginning military actions against their holdings Galaxy Wide. The transmission ended with a few short words from the Imperial Head of State.

 

“If any member of the Sith Organization and the Black Sun criminal Syndicate would wish to erase their past and begin a new life free from any accusation of association with these terrorist organizations they are to immediately and without hesitation contact their local Imperial or CoreSec Authority for surrender and rehabilitation. You have one week to comply. After that week you will be considered Persona Non Grata on all Imperial and Core Worlds and hunted for the rest of your miserable lives.”

 

All Imperial Reservists begin to receive activation orders and orders to return to Carida for immediate assignment.

A sapphire colored Togruta appeared on the screen. Her smile was bright, but clearly forced.

 

"Here we are again. My name is Ameythin Fujova for the Coruscanti News, Holonet Channel 8, and I am here to bring you the latest news stories no matter how ridiculous they are. Now to our reporter in the field, Sasha, what do you have for us today?"

 

The camera switched to a beautiful blonde woman with big blue eyes. She was with a weequay assistant and her microphone was pointed at a woman who had seen better days. She had long tangled brown hair, her skin was covered in dirty splotches, and her clothes were very ratty.

 

Chuck, the weequay camera assistant, swung the camera a little to the right and focused on the two of them. Sasha leaned in a little and opened her mouth into a brilliant pearly smile.

 

"Hi, we're here with Gerona, a former resident turned refugee of the planet Dathomir. Now tell the audience Gerona, why did you leave Dathomir?" Sasha said, looking to the other woman with a small hint of sympathy in her eyes, playing her concern to the camera.

 

Gerona didn't notice. She was trembling. And the bright lights weren't helping. But she was safe now. "Well," she said, starting off slow. "My people and I lived in a simple village. We had a few cottages and a nice longhouse. We were enjoying a peaceful life away from the nightsisters, when IT attacked."

 

Sasha's brow furrowed. "It?" She asked.

 

Gerona's trembling intensified. "It was nothing like we'd ever seen before. It came in the night. It seemed to be a large serpent-like creature with a huge humanoid arm growing out of its neck. First, it came for the crops and burned our countryside. Second, it started to burn our peasants. Third, it started burning everyone in the village. And last, it began to destroy all of our thatched roof cottages. It was terrible. And all throughout its rampage it yelled 'TROGDOOR' like it was some sort of battle cry. Some of the locals say it may have once been a man. Others say it may have once been a dragon man. And others say that it is a dragon; whatever that is. Their tales christen it, TROGDOR, the burninator. And like its namesake, it mirthlessly incensed things, burning everything it could see and some things it couldn't. I don't know why it burned things; why it senselessly and indiscriminately burned things. Perhaps I will never know. I am simply glad to be away from that terrible place."

 

Sasha turned back to the camera and put on her best serious face. "You heard it here folks. A terrible beast is plaguing the planet of Dathomir. A creature that comes out in the night and yells TROGDOR before attacking its victims. You have been warned. This is Sasha Verithos for Holonet Channel 8, signing out."
